]]>Cocktail rings were originally dramatic rings that had large center stones and were accented with pavé diamonds. However, nowadays any “statement” ring is generally called a cocktail ring. These large rings are usually worn on any finger except for the left ring finger, which is reserved for engagement and wedding rings. While some jewelry lovers may consider the cocktail ring to be somewhat gaudy, others enjoy this as the whole point of cocktail rings. In fact, the bigger and more ostentatious, the better when it comes to cocktail rings.

In order to appreciate the cocktail ring, it is essential to understand its background. The history of the cocktail ring goes back to the American prohibition era of the 1920s. During this time, alcoholic beverages were banned. This caused people to hold illegal drinking parties, including cocktail parties. The 1920s were a time of great social change, especially for women, who enjoyed greater freedom, most notably, the freedom to vote. Women’s freedom was expressed in the flapper fashions of the time, which favored short hair and short skirts. Women enjoyed smoking and drinking, the freedom of the contraceptive cap, and greater spending power. Not surprisingly, the glamorous Art Deco jewelry worn in the 1920s reflected this new-found consumerism.

During the Prohibition Era, alcohol-related crime escalated, most notoriously, bootlegging led by Al Capone’s gangsters. The term “bootlegging” comes from the act of concealing alcoholic drinks in boot tops. It is known that banning things seems to make the desire for them even greater. Indeed, it is thought that alcohol consumption increased to an all-time high during the later stages of prohibition in the USA. Since stronger drinks made more profit, due to their potency and easiness to manufacture, they were more prevalent. Illegal alcoholic drinks were sold in establishments called “speakeasies”. Before the speakeasy, women did not usually attend public bars. But during the Roaring Twenties, women both frequented and managed these drinking places

In the 1920s, the most valuable cocktail rings showcased large diamonds or other precious gemstones such as emeralds and sapphires set in platinum or gold and surrounded by pave diamonds. More interesting designs used colorful gemstones such as opal, or novel and abstract shapes.

Nowadays, the possibilities for cocktail rings are limited in some ways due to the decreasing availability of large gemstones. But this can be solved by using other gems such as quartz, tourmaline, blue topaz or citrine. These are still available in large sizes. In other ways, possibilities have increased due to innovative techniques that allow for an infinite variety of designs. For example, precious metals can be shaped into almost any form and then intricately set with micropavé colored gems. This means that large central gems are no longer necessary, since small, closely set stones can create as dramatic an effect. Cocktail ring designers can also blend colored gemstones with enameling techniques to produce various textures. Some of the most remarkable cocktail rings are designed in this way to look like natural objects, such as flowers or animals.

There has never been such a wide variety of cocktail rings, encompassing all the colors of the rainbow and virtually every style imaginable. For jewelry lovers who like to make bold statements, a cocktail ring is a wonderful addition to a jewelry collection.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. Fine silver, is 99.9% pure silver, is relatively soft, so silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase its hardness and strength to produce more durable jewellery.

Rhodium Plated and Coating

Rhodium is very expensive metal. Rhodium plated is the best way to prevent tarnish and discolour of jewellery. It looks brighter, shiny and increases the beauty of silver jewellery. Now, most silver jewellery is available with coating and plating for the quality of jewellery.

Reason for Tarnish or blackish of silver

The principal sterling silver alloy, 92.5% Ag-5.7% Cu, has been used for silverware and jewellery since the 14th century. Alloying with copper strengthens silver and allows it to be used for these items, but it has always been susceptible to tarnishing.

Tarnishing is a surface discoloration and mainly results from the formation of silver sulfide, Ag2S. Tarnish is generally caused by a reaction of sulfur, either from the surrounding air or perspiration that reacts with silver to form Ag2S.

Several species other than silver sulfide can also be found on tarnished surfaces. These include sulfate, chloride, oxide, organic carbon, and oxygenated organic carbon species and a carbonate or carbonyl present in the powder, perfumes, salts and others beauty products.

Reflecting this importance, many attempts have been made over the years to develop tarnish-resistant alloys that meet the 92.5% silver purity standard which is required if the alloy is to be called “sterling silver.” Some of these have reached limited commercialization, but all add cost and complicate the manufacturing process for sterling silver. The organic coating, E-coating, polishing, and alloy of silver with other metal are the major methods using to prevent jewellery.

Jewellery Care

Avoid direct contact with sweat to jewellery.

Remove jewellery before take bath.

Avoid sleeping with jewellery.

Avoid crash of jewellery.

Avoid Chemical present in the powder, perfumes, deodorant and other beauty products.

Silver can balance other elements in our body, so it is very important to our health.

It keeps our blood vessels elastic and it is important for bone formation and healing, skin formation and repair.

Some studies show that silver rings can reduce the symptoms of arthritis.

Silver has excellent antibiotics and sterilization effect. It has a toxic effect on some bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Silver can send out vessel heat quickly, so we can see that the silver has the great effect on the prevention of some diseases.

Silver has toxicity function, which can change the colour of the silver. When silver meets some toxic substance, it will turn into black or other colours. So you can use silver to examine whether the substance is toxic or not.
